USB cable Renkforce USB Type A to Type B 3.0, length 1.8 m

The Renkforce USB Type A to Type B 3.0 cable, length 1.8 m, provides a high-speed wired connection between computers and peripherals with USB 3.0 Type A and Type B ports. Designed for reliable data transfer and stable connectivity, the cable supports higher throughput than USB 2.0 and offers a practical length for desktop and office setups where devices like printers, scanners and external drives are used at a short distance from the host computer.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 cable delivers faster data transfer rates compared to USB 2.0, enabling quicker file transfers and smoother data synchronisation with compatible devices. The 1.8 m length balances reach and cable management for typical workstation layouts. The standard Type A and Type B connectors ensure broad compatibility with many printers, scanners, NAS enclosures and USB-powered peripherals. The cable is constructed to provide a stable connection that minimises data errors during intensive transfers.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to desktop or laptop computers
• Linking scanners and document feeders to a host PC
• Attaching external USB 3.0 hard drives and drive enclosures
• Establishing reliable connections in small office and home office setups

Key specifications

• Cable type: USB 3.0 Type A to Type B
• Length: 1.8 m
• Data transfer: USB 3.0 speeds (SuperSpeed) — higher throughput than USB 2.0
• Connector genders: Type A (host) to Type B (device)
• Compatibility: Devices with USB Type B ports such as printers, scanners and external drive enclosures
• Shielding and construction: designed for stable data transmission and reduced interference

How to use

Connect the Type A plug to an available USB port on your computer or hub and insert the Type B plug into the compatible device's USB Type B port. Ensure both connectors are fully seated; the cable is bidirectional for data and will be recognised automatically by most modern operating systems without additional drivers. For optimal performance, connect both ends directly to the host and device rather than through multiple passive adapters or poorly screened hubs.

Recommendations

Place the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources to preserve signal integrity. For best transfer speeds, use the cable with devices and hosts that support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed. Regularly check connectors for dust or debris and replace the cable if connector pins are damaged or if transfers become unreliable.
